About seven months ago, we posted an article about an application called ‘Paddy’ that connects a MIDI controller desk to Lightroom. Unfortunately for me, that application is Windows only, so I set out to find a solution for this gadget that I needed in and around my life. The solution is something called ‘Knobroom.’ After reading the initial story, I scoured Craigslist for aBehringer BCF2000. I figured that I would wait to find one of these second-hand, just in case I couldn’t get it to work. (Yes, I know all about return policies, but $125 was a risk I was fine taking – especially if it meant no shipping). So a mere seven months after geeking out over the thought of using sliders with Lightroom, I had the device in hand. Unfortunately, I still had some worries…

“Will this work well (or even at all) on my Mac (especially since there are no additional drivers or programs to map the board like on a PC)?”

“Will it work with Lightroom 5 (the last updates for the software came out right after 4 and were supposedly buggy)?”

“Will this make me very stressed and annoyed and angry and frustrated to set up?”
